It was well before midnight when the police scanners first started heating up with chatter about a need for assistance at Fair Park. It wasn't a riot happening at Electric Daisy Carnival, the 10-hour electronic music festival taking place there Saturday; these were just medical calls. But, for a couple...
Dallas Mavericks fans were notably well-behaved during yeterday's NBA Championship victory parade through downtown. Despite the fact that 200,000 or so people packed themselves in like sardines along the sidewalks of the route -- and in the sweltering heat, no less -- there were only five arrests. By contrast, Vancouver...
The so-called urban sprawl has created an interesting scenario in the Dallas music scene these days. Back in the late '80s and '90s, Deep Ellum acted as a strong central location for the North Texas music community. But, over the years, as people have gotten more and more spread out,...
As soon as Saturday night's broadcast of the 48 Hours Mystery devoted to the disappearance of Lisa Stone faded to black, the comments began pouring in.

Just back from the band's first tour of Europe, Seattle's The Head and the Heart are currently making their way across the U.S. opening up for The Walkmen. Interestingly, the two acts couldn't be more dissimilar. But that dichotomy should mostly result in a beautiful blending of styles. Playing soft-spoken...
While the Mavs were sleeping last night, they might have won another playoff game. How's that? Because over in Memphis the Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder played only the sixth triple-overtime game in NBA playoff history. On the heels of Saturday's overtime win by Memphis, OKC survived last night's marathon thriller,...
If nothing else, the Dallas City Hall federal corruption case provided us with a lesson on how you get tax credits to build low-income housing. Which should come in handy for those who want to follow this case filed in Dallas federal court on Friday: Monique Allen and UPCDC Texas,...

If you've been evicted without a heads-up in the last two years or so, Dallas County would like to apologize. This morning, County Judge Clay Jenkins and commissioners John Wiley Price and Maureen Dickey did so in person at the County Administration Building, where they announced the findings of a...
And they're off...discriminating against singles again. That's right, Park Place Volvo's Day at the Races 2011 charged single people more per ticket than couples. The Lee Park Junior Conservancy hosted the seersucker- and hat-filled Kentucky Derby Day event, which raised money for the development, conservation and maintenance of Lee Park...
At the end of last year we spent quite a bit of time following Nuke Free Texas' efforts to stop Governor Rick Perry's appointees on the Texas Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission from giving Waste Control Specialists the thumbs-up to bury nuclear waste out in West Texas that...
These days, This Will Destroy You have their hands full. With good reason, of course: Today marks the arrival of their newest LP, Tunnel Blanket, an album that finds the band growing even darker and denser and, somehow, even bigger than their epic offerings have showcased to date. Meanwhile, the...
When Dallas Independent School District Michael Hinojosa initially told the school board last month about the coming budget cuts that could result in the district laying off 3,100 on-campus full-timers and some 600 at 3700 Ross, he warned that under the so-called "worst-case scenario," the losses could add up to...

No matter how hard you try to find a scapegoat, the story of the 2011 World Series doesn't have a chapter about its version of Bill Buckner, nor should it. Buckner only dominates the narrative of the 1986 World Series because media and fans ripped out the other chapters. With...
The Mavs can play better than they did in Game 1 of the NBA's Western Conference Finals. For the first time in the playoffs they allowed 100 points, 112 to be exact. The Thunder grabbed 11 offensive rebounds and, according to Mavs' coach Rick Carlisle, corralled 13 of the game's...
Walking into The Labb on Oak Street, just off Denton's Courthouse-on-the-Square, you'd hardly guess that the space is a music venue. A space for DJ nights, maybe. But never a place for bands to play, much less touring ones. Enter Bryan Denny. The main talent buyer for Rubber Gloves Rehearsal...
Now that the Casey Anthony case is over -- not guilty on all murder counts, guilty only of four misdemeanors -- will cable news be able to give it up? More specifically, will Dr. Drew? This case has become cable news' hillbilly heroin and it'll be hard for them to...
